Much like the BBS FI wheel before it, bringing the BBS FI-R to market has been a journey and a trial, both within BBS itself, and outside of BBS among BBS supporters and vendors. I described a full history of the FI-R and its relationship with IND here, in this thread:
http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1064579

However amongst the bustle and noise of hundreds of hours of engineering, finite element analysis, pricing negotiations, and even negotiations between IND and BBS Germany, one element of the story is lost to us.

The FI-R wheel is not a wheel engineered and conceived in a vacuum. It is a culmination of a history of hard work, struggle, and success. It is this accumulated effort, this compounded knowledge and force of human will that impresses us at IND. Although the FI-R is still in production and not yet released to the general public, it represents a lineage and a bloodline that is unique to a company founded in 1970 by a couple of guys from Schiltach Germany with a true passion for engineering.

This is why we follow the FI-R program so closely, and this is why we feel as we do about the FI-R.

Enjoy the video!

I don't suppose you guys could convince them to make a fitment for something ridiculous, like a X5M for example...

IND-Distribution · 05-14-2015, 07:51 PM

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone! The wheels will be featured on a slightly different IND M4, at the BBS booth.

Hey, those look like Project Kics R40 Racing Composite lug nuts securing the F1 wheel. Is IND now stocking them? I had them on my E46 M3 track car and they're a superb nut. Was told they aren't available for F80 M3 lug size. Thanks

Wow..................
